The Peten (6,968 grt; 447 ft. long) sailed for "The Great White Fleet" from 1932 together with her sisters Chiriqui and Talamanca. She was
renamed Jamaica when chartered to the Colombian Line in 1937. She kept her new name when returned after a year. After war service she
continued her career for United Fruit until sold to Germany in 1958.
